Xu Qi'an is riding a horse, and the old broker is riding a carriage. In the carriage are Xu Lingyue and his aunt, as well as Xu Lingyin, who excitedly pokes her head out of the window.

Because there is a big Lang accompany, don't take servant girl and servant, many people get in the way.

On the way, I bought some food for Xu Lingyue and Xu Lingyin. Xu Qi'an said to the window, "do you want it, aunt?"

My aunt refused.

When they got out of the car, Xu Qi'an saw his aunt wiping the corners of her mouth.

"The location is pretty good. It's not far from downtown, and there's a river on the side..." my aunt commented with satisfaction. Standing at the door of the house, she frowned and said:

"it's a bit shabby."

It's a ghost house. Xu Qi said anxiously, indicating the old agent to open the door.

Aunt with two daughters into the house, eye is a depression and dilapidated scene, obviously desolate for many years, and no one to manage.

She frowned: "that's it?"

"No one has lived in this house for many years, and there is no one to rent. The dentist thinks that if he can sell 4000 Liang, he can sell it. It's just that the homeowner doesn't agree... "

four thousand liang? The aunt narrowed her eyes and asked carelessly, "how much is the price of this house?"

"Five thousand taels." Said the old broker.

Aunt did not speak, with her daughters began to visit the house, where thorns pick. The old broker is also an experienced, cheeky man who can handle everything.

Seeing this gorgeous and familiar woman and the pure and refined girl walking towards the inner courtyard, the old agent was startled and looked at Xu Qi'an.

"Nothing." Xu Qian said.

In broad daylight, it should be all right... The old agent looks at the back of the beautiful woman, and the swaying style of the ass is particularly attractive.

"Do you really want to buy this house?"

"Well."

I'm not afraid of death. When the old broker had done his utmost to persuade him, he asked, "these two are..."

Xu Qian joked, "what do you think?"

This made the old broker silent and embarrassed for a moment. Mother and sister? No, not that young. There is no such thing as filial piety between them.

Married? Well, the girl may be the master's wife, and the beautiful woman is his mother-in-law... What about the girl in yellow dress yesterday?

The old broker's vision is quite old, but he can't figure out the relationship between the two sides.

"The older one is my aunt, and the younger one is my sister." When Xu Qi'an finished, he saw that the old broker was surprised. He said with a smile, "what's the matter?"

The old agent shook his head and said that he had never seen his sister and aunt with him.

Because Aunt must be uncle or uncle's wife, a member of the clan, not a family member. He didn't see his aunt and cousin looking at the house together.

...

my aunt was very satisfied with the house although she was mean and said it was useless. It is also a big house with three entrances, but the area is much larger than that of Xu's house in the outer city, and the pattern is not the same.

The pattern of Xufu is a civilian pattern, which is not as good as the high-end atmosphere here. If we have to distinguish it, it is probably the rural homestead and the high-end villas in the city.

Although they are all single buildings with several floors, they are of different grades.

It took an hour to see the whole house carefully. Both aunt and Xu Lingyue were very excited, and the latter secretly decided on their own house.

My aunt said tentatively, "I'm afraid I can't buy 5000 liang of this area."

After the aunt found out that the price is too cheap, she is too smart.

Xu Qi'an pointed to the well not far away: "there have been ghosts in the well. Well, it's true that there are ghosts. Miss Caiwei and I have verified it."

Aunt Xu Qiyue's hands pulled back from behind.

Ghost?

Xu Lingyin is also very afraid. She runs to the big brother's crotch to hide with her short legs. Then she looks at the wellhead and swallows saliva with fear.

Aunt pretty face some white, a moment also don't want to be more: "don't buy, go back."

She held a daughter in one hand and walked out of the house quickly, because she walked too fast and swayed.

The old broker looked at Xu Qian with a sad face: "are you amusing me?"

Xu Qi'an waved his hand: "don't talk nonsense, go to the dental shop and pay the deposit."

He didn't say that he had solved the female ghost. He was afraid that the price of Yaxing's land would start. Before the house deed and the land deed arrived, it was still a ghost house.

The carriage was parked outside the dentist's shop. In the carriage sat my aunt and two younger sisters. When I heard that Xu Qian had gone to pay the deposit, my aunt was very angry.

"I won't live. Let him live in the ghost house by himself. The little bastard just doesn't want us three to take advantage." My aunt said angrily.

"Big brother is not like that." Xu Lingyue shook her mother's arm.

Just then, Xu Qi'an came out, jumped into the driver's seat, lifted the curtain and put in half his head: "it's almost noon. Let's go to Gui Yue Lou for dinner."Don't look at me, aunt.

Xu Qi'an explained: "the female ghosts in the house have been solved. If you don't believe me, do the magicians of the sky warden believe me?"

Xu Lingyue nodded her head.

The aunt was so surprised that she stared at Xu Qian: "really?"

"Why do I lie to my aunt?"

Driving to guiyuelou, Xu Qian asked for a box. He took out a jade mirror and said: "No.2, I remember you said that you were investigating the mastermind behind the Yunzhou banditry. 】

after sending the letter, he put the mirror upside down on the desk and lowered his head to eat. After a while, the message came.

[2: Yes, in the process of suppressing bandits, I found that there were a lot of supplies in the stockade. These things are not available to mountain bandits. I doubt that there are forces behind them. 】

Xu Qi'an nodded slightly. The so-called logistics are military materials, including equipment and equipment.

This topic aroused the interest of No. 4. As a former Dafeng official, he was more concerned about the situation of Dafeng Dynasty.

[4: try to start with the local government in Yunzhou. By the way, I remember that there are vassals in Yunzhou. 】

[2: Guiwang is just a prince who has no real power. I have investigated him and there is no problem. 】

[3: how to investigate. 】

[2: send someone to watch the palace. 】

... This is also called investigation? It's too crude. Xu Qian make complaints about his life. I know the backstage supporter of bandits. 】

“???”

Two and four flashed a series of question marks in their minds.

What information did number three get? Why does number three always get so much information. It's just the news of the capital. After all, it's his "territory", but Yunzhou has no relationship with him.

I haven't got a clue after a long time's investigation. How can he know the backstage supporter of the Yunzhou banditry...? No.2 knows No.3 well, and always thinks he is a scholar with high moral character. Instead of questioning, he solemnly sent a letter:

[NO.2: what's the matter? Well, No.3, you tell me the inside information when I owe you a favor. 】

[3: Oh, no, I admire you. This news is free. 】

when you don't have deep feelings, you should talk about trading and stop whoring. After the first birth and the second maturity, we should develop our feelings and reduce the interest transaction between each other.

Because it's the most expensive thing to trade for free. Wait for the friendship between each other more and more deep, white whoring this thing appeared... No, between friends how can call white whoring, is to help each other.

This time, No.2 whores him. Tomorrow, he can whore No.2.

[3] it's the voodoo religion in Northeast China. Voodoo religion is the driving force behind the banditry in Yunzhou. Well, my information is not necessarily accurate. No. 2, please take it as a reference. 】

even if the Wushen cult is not the backstage supporter of the Yunzhou banditry, most of them can't get away from it. This matter was revealed to No. 2, and Xu Qi'an wanted No. 2 to investigate.

Is witchcraft the driving force behind the banditry in Yunzhou? No. 2 stares at the text message in the jade mirror and is silent for a long time: [how do you know, from what channel? Well, I'm not testing you. I want to know the truth of the news. 】

[3: no problem. Last night, the watchmen found a stronghold of witchcraft in the capital, and they had close contacts with the Minister of the Ministry of industry...]

he told the story roughly, but didn't give much details. After all, he was a student of Yunlu academy, not a watchman involved in the case. The focus is on the Minister of the Ministry of industry, who provides military materials such as artillery and equipment for the sorcerer religion.

So it is, so it is... No.2 excitedly grasped his fist and passed on the message: "this news is very important to me, which verified my previous guess. Thank you very much. I was suddenly annoyed that Taoist priest Jinlian didn't pull you into heaven and earth society earlier. 】

[9: talk about business, not personal. 】

after a pause, Taoist priest Jinlian wrote: [9: however, it doesn't mean much to them that the Wushen sect secretly supports the banditry in Yunzhou. 】

in the northeast, the territory of Wuzhou is thousands of miles away. 】

neither military alliance nor trade exchanges are realistic.

This is also my doubt... Xu Qi'an said in his book: "No.2, you can try to find out. I believe that with your ability, you can find out. 】

at this time, No. 1, who likes to peep at the screen, jumps out: "the affair of the Minister of work reminds me of a detail in the Sampo case.

[gunpowder was buried in the mountain and River Temple of Yongzhen by the former Minister of rites through the convenience of Zhou Baihu and the arrangement of ancestor worship ceremony. So who lit the fire? 】

[2: forbidden army? 】

[3: it's not the imperial guards. I've checked all the entrance and exit of the imperial guards that night. All the patrols were sacrificed. Those who didn't patrol also had witnesses who weren't present. In addition, the Minister of rites can't command the imperial guards. 】

[2: why? 】

[1: This is a secret of the imperial court.

what court secrets are not classified? Yuan Jing Di will make the sage monitor make complaints about the guards once a month.In his mind, some clues suddenly run through, just like opening up Ren Du's two veins: [number one means that the people of the Wushen sect ignited the explosives in the mountain and River Temple of Yongzhen? 】

[1: well. 】Nine: paper man. 】

[1: is the Taoist priest so determined? 】Nine: Oh, the puppet art of paper man is still spread from all walks of life. Naturally, I know. The paper man's ability is low, so it is better than the mole ant. It can hide the perception of the warrior. It's not hard to enter a temple without sound. But paper man can be used as a medium to ignite gunpowder. 】

[I: that is to say, in the Sampo case, there were not only the participation of demons, but also witchcraft. So the Qi party must also know about it? 】

[3: No, Qi party and wushenjiao are just cooperative relations, not superior and subordinate. Wushenjiao can't tell Qi party everything. 】

[1: but one thing can be confirmed is that sorcery has an affair with the demon clan. 】

the purpose of Shamanism is to blow up Sampo as a seal? It should not be monk Shenshu's broken hand, otherwise the conflict of interest, the two sides will fight... Xu Qi'an thought, while holding out chopsticks to clip vegetables, the result is empty.

This is not much food, has been eaten up by mother and daughter three, xiaodouding eat red.

"... like Chu Caiwei." Xu Qi'an scolded and called for the second child to add vegetables.

After dinner, leaving Guiyue building, aunt and Lingyue entered the carriage. Xu Lingyin sees a maltose seller on the opposite side, pulling his elder brother's trousers, and pitifully asks him to buy it for him.

Xu Qi'an led her to buy, knife mouth bean curd heart, bluff: "maltose is too hard, be careful Bang bad teeth."

Xiaodouding is an expert in the field of food, not afraid: "it's OK, I will eat it from hard to soft."

Xu Qi'an smelled the speech and laughed: "if you have the ability, you can eat it from soft to hard."

Xiaodouding admit defeat: "then I don't have such great ability... Big brother can."

"Big brother can't, but a bad troublemaker can eat maltose from soft to hard, and then from hard to soft."

"Troublemakers? That elder sister and Niang are OK

"I refuse to answer that question."

"Why, big brother." Xu Lingyin blinked her innocent eyes.

"Don't ask why, ring tone. Why do you always force big brother to drive?"
